When we think of Agile testing, we often think of the motto, “Test early and test often.” It’s a logical approach: The earlier you test, the more time you have to find and fix bugs. It’s far easier to fix a bug before you’ve released that version of your software than it is once a bug has become a full-blown defect . The more of these tests you are able to automate, the simpler life is for your testers.
